This Saturday at 6:30 PM Bird & Beckett Books and Records will host a sold out fundraising event for Beat icon Diane di Prima. In order to assist with growing medical expenses, Di Prima will conduct a solo reading that will focus on poetry from her latest collection titled “Poems Are Angels,” among other important pieces from the poet’s private collection.

There will be, however, a reprise fundraiser event on Saturday, March 1st, also at Bird & Beckett. Reserve your tickets through Bird & Beckett soon, as this second Di Prima event will most likely sell out, as well. Tickets are $25.00 for the limited 20 available seats, and $15.00 for standing room. Bird & Beckett can only accommodate 40-50 people maximum—so act fast!
